Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Well, this is being posted a bit later than I had anticipated but my goodness me - how busy was that lead up to Christmas?! I hope that you all had a great Christmas Day and that you are enjoying spending time with your families and making the most of having some very well deserved time off!
The end of the Autumn Term was as busy and chaotic as usual but what a cracker it was!
Now, there are LOADS of pictures for you to enjoy so make sure that you are sitting comfortably before you begin...
Christmas Concert
What a fabulous evening this was! A lovely, low key event that was enjoyed by all who attended.
Well done to our brave Year Five children who performed brilliantly and who were a joy to behold.
I was so proud of you.
Christmas Decorations
Over the last couple of weeks, these lovely children have given up all of their break times in order to sell our gorgeous 'Little People' Christmas Decorations. They are super stars aren't they?
Due to their dedication and excellent sales techniques, we have raised an incredible £137.25 that will go towards our British Museum Trip and will contribute to the reduction the overall cost of this visit.
Calendar Competition Winner
Huge congratulations to Lola in 5MW who was one of the winners of the DMS Calendar Competition.
She won an impressive 'stash' from one of sponsors, Mole Valley Farmers.
Well done Lola!
Christmas Jumpers
When you came through the doors on that last Friday of term, we were not disappointed! You all have the coolest Christmas Jumpers EVER!
As a school, we have raised £427 for Save the Children which is simply fantastic!
Well done one and all!
Christmas Buddies
It was so lovely to see our Buddies on the last day of term.
It's always good to have a catch up over a Christmassy word search isn't it?
Celebration Assembly
I have to say that this assembly was an absolute highlight of my year! We had 115 parents/carers/Grandparents in attendance which was incredible.
It was a super assembly that was packed full of celebration, laughter and Christmas...
I hope you enjoyed the assembly as much as we did. The class performances were excellent and we all enjoyed what you had prepared and rehearsed for us.
Congratulations to everyone for their hard earned awards, I hope your parents have had hours of fun sewing all those super stripes on your sweatshirt sleeves!
Worth a Mention Children
Last week's Worth a Mention children were Aldo, Luca, Tyler, Max, Millie, Issac, Dylan, Layla, Alfie and the children in 5MW who took part in the Christmas Carol Service.
This week...
Yes, that is indeed Mrs Daniel.
I am so sorry, we did try to prevent her from 'drawing' but she's on a roll now and there is no stopping her.
See what I mean?!
Well done EVERYONE for being Worth a Mention Children, you really do deserve it.
Chemistry Show
Our lucky Year Five children were treated to the Explorer Dome Company's incredible Chemistry Show courtesy of the Science Department.
The children had a fabulous time and learnt a lot through all the incredible experiments that they observed and took part in.
Thank You Mr Lane.
Well, that is it for this year! I will be back in January to continue to report on the comings and goings of Year Five with my usual sense of pride.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to the amazing Year Five Team who are, in my opinion, the best in the business.
Have a fabulous time and enjoy the rest of your break.
I will look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 2nd January 2018!
